They must have a new cook as compared to two years ago because hand down this is the best authentic Mexican restaurant in Bloomington-Normal. The first time I ate here the food was just so-so due to the bland tasting food and salt was a necessity at the table. Now the food is spectacular and such a big change from the first time I ate there. I have now partaken from 2 items from the breakfast menu and 4 from the dinner menu and each time the menu items were very flavorful. I now plan to try to order a different item off of their menu each time I go in. Very huge thumbs up. • • •

Thought Blo-No was doomed UNTIL I found EL PORTON! This small place: has large proportions, damn good salsa, the food is always quick and hott, their meet is genuinely fresh and the beans/rice are legit by themselves. Please, give it a try!

Excellent food!!!! We enjoyed the food so much that we ordered more to take home with us. We will definitely return and recommend this restaurant to everyone. The service was friendly and good. Finally great authentic mexican food. Very flavorful food. Definitely five stars from us. The prices were good too!

The veggie burrito is delicious with green sauce! Very fresh ingredients and quick service. Closed Wednesdays. We have never been disappointed with this delicious taqueria. Don't go here expecting to get a margarita - bottled beers and sodas only.

EXCELLENT FOOD!! If you are in Bloomington-Normal dont waste your time with the others (EXPECIALLY Fiesta Ranchera & Labamba's). This place is top notch on taste & service. After living here 5 years & trying pretty much all the Mexican restaurants this one will not disappoint.
This is the only place I will go to...if I am not in a Taco Bell mood, LOL!
But this is the REAL DEAL...they do not disappoint.
I recommend the Steak Burrito Meal. Its about $6, super big, tasty burrito STUFFED w/ Steak & beans/ rice. And you better be hungry cuz its big! • • •
